From the looks of things, AMD is to complement its Ryzen 3000 line-up with another six-core. The Ryzen 5 3500 is running 3.6 GHz for a base clock with a 4.1 Ghz Turbo, it, however, lacks Hyperthreading (SMT) and thus is a six-thread processor.



AMD's Ryzen 3000 processors have been making news offering high performance and value for money. The R5 3600's little sister. With 3.6 GHz, it offers an identical base clock as its little sister, but it does not get SMT. In boost mode, it also 'only' reaches 4.1 GHz. In terms of price, the new CPU should rank in a price range of roughly 150 to 200 euros as the R5 3600 is offered for ~210 euros, (already available at online retailers under 200 euros). 

Update September 25th, 2019 - the processor has once again surfaced, this time in an Asian store. The Ryzen 5 3500X again was listed at a maximum clock speed of 4.1 GHz. The CPU is in the store for 1099 yuan, converted around 140 euros. On the Vietnam AMD red team fan club a photo appeared as well.
